Blown away by the service I received from my LBS - I was off camping in the Forest of Dean with the family when my new dropper seatpost turned up at the shop. Was going to ride on Sunday without it and then pick it up Monday, but they delivered it to the campsite from Cheltenham (about 40 miles away). Admittedly one of the staff lives the other side of the forest to where I was staying but it was awesome to get my hands on it earlier than expected.

Cheers Fetish Bikes!!!

Anyone else had similar experiences?

Did you ask why they haven't paid their Gravity Enduro series sponsorship bill?

Did you? Didn't even know they hadn't and whether or not this is true doesn't detract from the good service I had.

It has to be said they aren't the flavour of the month on STW, but at least there's on happy customer.

I wasn't aware of the sponsorship issues but from reading the reports this was one of many problems this year that hit the series.

The guys in the shop have looked after me and I know they've looked after others too but I only speak from first hand experience. 😉
